JPMorgan price target lowered to $334 from $365 at Morgan Stanley

Morgan Stanley analyst Manan Gosalia lowered the firm’s price target on JPMorgan (JPM) to $334 from $365 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The median bank stock in the firm’s coverage is down by 5% over the past 30 days amid concerns about the potential impact of the ongoing Middle East conflict on economic growth and inflation, as well as market concerns on private credit headlines, notes the analyst, who is reducing price targets across the group by 9% on average as the firm applies lower target valuation multiples to reflect higher risk in the environment.
